Surely
CTU President Karen Lewis and the other far-left activists in the union would
never politicize student test questions... would they? We have to wonder, since
a test question for seventh-graders identified two phony articles – supposedly
written by conservatives who oppose citizenship for illegal immigrants. The
articles read more like something published by the KKK than everyday
conservatives. [more...] Go here

President
Barack Obama is unhappy with the U.S. Constitution and wants to change it. America's
Founding Fathers, Mr. Obama has said, had "an enormous blind spot"
and produced a "deeply flawed" document as the cornerstone of our
republic. One such flaw, he told Democratic Party campaign contributors in
Chicago on May 22, is that it apportions two Senate seats to each state, large
or small. "That puts us at a disadvantage," said President Obama. Democrats,
he said, "tend to congregate a little more densely" in big cities
like Chicago and New York, and this, plus the way congressional seats are
apportioned by population and state, gives Republicans an advantage. These "are
some structural reasons why, despite the fact that Republican ideas are largely
rejected by the public, it's still hard for us to break through," said
President Obama. Oddly, despite Mr. Obama's claim that the public rejects
Republican ideas, the GOP holds a solid majority in the House of
Representatives and has a good chance of winning control of the Senate this
November. [more...]

President
Obama seems to change the law based upon the mood of the day. In another
typical Friday night news release, the Obama administration announced a new
regulation/tax on employers. Employers who found healthcare under Obamacare to
be too expensive to provide to their employees are now going to be forced to
provide employee healthcare or face a stiff fine. Many employers decided to
give a cash contribution to their employees, oftentimes in the amount that
their health insurance used to cost before Obamacare. Employees would take that
cash and then go on to the exchange and purchase individual insurance. This is
the system that Obamacare gave us. However, when the President found out that
people were following it, and not getting fined, he decided that something
needed to be done. Now employers are subject to a $100 per day ($36,500 per
year) fine per employee who purchases health insurance from the individual
exchanges. [more...]

Over
the weekend a very disturbed young man killed 6 people (3 stabbed, 3 shot) and
injured several others (some with his car) before turning the gun on himself. The
posts on Facebook went out immediately: "full background checks for all
gun sales," "we need to make it harder for people to get guns,"
"high capacity magazines need to be banned" and "no one needs a
gun." Really, LIBERAL America, get a grip! This is the perfect case to
show how foolish all those comments are. This piece is going to be a little
harsh, so stop reading if you don't want an in-your-face look at this massacre.

On
this week's POLITICAL INSIDERS, we discussed the expanding Veterans
Administration Scandal, the Democrats' decision to participate in the Benghazi
Select Committee - perhaps to protect Hillary - and the GOP Establishment's
move to run Jeb Bush in 2016. Watch our shows here: Sunday Part

What President Obama Should Say to Mexico's President about
Our Imprisoned Marine

Memorial
Day is over, but we are reminded of the sacrifices of our military heroes by a
high profile story in the news right now. We have an explosive international
incident developing over the false imprisonment of a U.S. Marine hero in
Mexico. Remarkably, our president and Secretary of State have not even chosen
to bring this issue up with Enrique Pena Nieto, the President of Mexico. I
believe the U.S. has great leverage in this situation- if we had a real
leader running this country. Unfortunately we have the weak, feckless,
neutered, bowing Barack Obama. [more...]
